Crochet By Kawaii Sloth

This week amino challenge is watermelon. Coincidentally, i just saw a watermelon mesh bag in instagram here  and wanted to to make one. So, here we go. I'm using Nona yarn and 3.5mm hook. At first i use 3.0mm hook, but it hurts my fingers, so i change it to 3.5mm. It make the bag less sturdy but we'll see how it goes. For the bottom part, start with 14dc in mc. Make 6 rows of red, 1 row white and 1 row green. Done the bottom. We'll make the body tomorrow...

Oh my God. This is so hard to make. Assembling each body part is consuming so much time and energy. Look at the eyes, both shape are not identical For tummy and legs, i use glue as an experiment. But legs doesn't look good. The glue is visible and look so bad. Maybe i should try another type of glue. But it looks cute like me 😄 I use acrylic yarn with 3mm hook. 8mm safety eyes. And here's the pattern

Look what I've made today. A kitty plush. I use the same pattern from the previous plush but using different yarn with 3.5mm hook. I kinda like it! Here's the size for comparison. To be honest i really like this project because i don't have to assemble the body parts. So satisfying.  I wanted to make more. Hahaha. Here's a short video I made just for fun.

Bad news. I already crochet the edge of yellow blanket by using 1 row of single crochet and one row of double crochet. When i almost done, i realized that some of the first stitch from the edge are too big. I'm not sure why it happened. At first i want ignore it since i spent 2 hours of making. But then i think i shouldn't sell not perfect blanket, i should  fix it. At last i frog the entire edge that i made for 2 hours. No, I don't start making the second attempt yet.  I'm so frustrated and sad. I will leave the project for a while and making other things. First, let sleep... P/S : No photo since I'm so frustrated

Can't believe I finished using all 5 balls of yellow yarn on day 2. Wow. It's 62 rows altogether. I do use all of my day and night time to crochet this blanket. Maybe i do it too much. I need a good rest after crochet the border tomorrow.

My husband is not working today, so I manage to be so productive.  I've made 16 rows before night and feels like i need to stop. But no, i continue working on it. And make total of 24 rows. I am using the third yellow yarn. I am so happy. Hope i really can finish it within 5 days.

I am going to make a second crochet baby blanket. I will use light yellow yarn with 5mm hook and double crochet technique. The thing is i only have 5 balls of light yellow yarn in hand. The previous blanket use up to 9 balls of yarn. So i will use off-white yarn to make a stripe.  3 rows of yellow and 1 row of off-white. I plan to complete it within 5 days. Wish me luck!

Amigurumi Kitten Plush done! Unfortunately, I don't really like it 😅. Everything seems just fine, until I embroidering its face. Owh noooo. I ruined it 😭. To be honest, embroidering amigurumi is my biggest weakness. I thought i do it just fine until it's not fine at all. Look at it. Why is it no cute? What did i do wrong. Is it the wrong size hook? Or wrong size yarn? Or less stuffed filler? Or what. I'm so disappointed. Okay, let's put myself together. For this project I use an  amigurumi pusheen pattern   you can get it here . Since i don't have grey yarn, I use orange pastel color of milk cotton yarn that available in my stash. I use 1 ball of yarn with 4.5mm hook and 12mm safety eyes. It should have arms and tail, but i don't want it. Let it be just like that. I think next time I'll try using 4mm hook and insert more stuffed filler. I really like this kitten, but not cute enough for me ☹️

This week amino challenge is kitten. I already submit felt keychain as the my entry. However i want to try making a kitten plushie for the second submission. Here's how it goes so far. I wanna make the similar plush as the keychain. We'll see how it turns out.

Finished! I don't know what else should i write, but finished! I'm so happy. I manage to finish it in 7 days. Can you believe that? This is such a quick and easy project. You should try too. To wrap it up; In this project I use 6mm hook and milk cotton yarn of 3 colors and use 9 balls of yarn. I make 100 chains, single crochet for the first row, and double crochet for other rows until the end. Its 67 rows altogether. For border I make 2 rows of single crochet and that's it. Finished in 7 days. I think I will make few more blanket and sell it on etsy.

Made it! I use 4.5mm hook for 2 rows of single crochet. That's it. Now it's time for the finishing. Hide all the remaining yarn. The most boring part.

Yay! I finished making all rows. Today i made 11 rows and i think it's enough for the whole blanket. So total is 67 rows. Tomorrow we'll be making the borders. Yippi!

Here's i made so far on day 4 : I made 15 rows. Now the blanket already square shaped. Maybe 10-20 more rows is enough for the blanket. Hopefully we can complete it on day 7.

Here's how it looks on day 3 I've made 13 rows. Each ball of yarn can make 9 rows.  I've finished using 1 ball of each color. I'll try to make another 15 rows tomorrow.

Did i say i want to make 15 rows today? Well i managed to make 19 rows today. Yippi! Proud of myself 😉 Do you see the stripes. Love the color combination.  Tomorrow I'll make another 15 rows. All the best for me.

Here's what i made in day 1 I made 9 rows of double crochet. I really enjoy making this blanket. It super quick and the stitch is super nice. And also love the color so much. Hopefully i can make another 15 rows tomorrow.

I am 38 weeks pregnant. And my sister in law is 36 pregnant. I want to make a baby blanket for her coming soon son.  I know it's kind of late, but i eagerly want to make one.  Since we are running out of time, i will make the easiest and the quickest crochet blanket ever! I will be making a double crochet baby blanket. Just double crochet from beginning to the end. And then make single crochet border. For the stripes i use this  stripes generator And here's the stripes that it generate. I'll be using 3 colors; white, light blue and another light blue with 6mm hook so it will be super quick. I'm not sure if i can make it on time. Plan to complete it within 7 days. Wish me luck!

I stay up late just to finish this starry night small bag. It's an entry for weekly amino challenge. So i made another granny square as the back and join them using simple stitch. For the handle, i use 2 strand of yarn and made short chains, just enough for the bag. I really like the bag and the color. Brighter yellow should look better don't you think? Maybe i can make this bag as one of my products on Etsy.

Crafty Amino are having a Starry Night Challenge and i made a star granny square for the challenge. At first I was thinking about making a small bag with this square. But then i am too lazy to crochet another one. It's quite tricky since needed to count every stitch to make sure the shape is right. But i don't know. I don't think submit a square is suit for the challenge. Looks like an unfinished project. Maybe i can just make another simple blue square without a star as the back of the bag.

Finally! Finish making dwi-color bag. It tooks 4 days to complete (not do it full time). The size is slightly bigger than A4 size. I use two strands of acrylic yarn with 5mm hook and make half double crochet from start to finish. Half double crochet is quite boring because they are short (need to make many rows) and the process is not smooth and hurts my wrist. I don't think i want me to make another one although i really like how it turns out. Proud of myself.

My progress so far. I want to make a bag of size A4 (slightly larger than A4). Hope it will be finished tomorrow ☺️

I am making a crochet bag out of two strand yarn. I got confused with the first stitch and it makes me frogging it few times. But it's a process of learning. Hope it finished in two days.
